Ant Hurricane - Spectacular

[boothesquirrel]

i thought it was a black hole

[SiMuSiCvidmania]

ant mosh pit... lol kinda...maybe? eh i dunno xD

[TheSoundDepo]

This phenomenon occurs (an ant mill) during migration of a colony when the main body of ants loses the pheromone (homrone) trail produced by the 'leader' ants. They then start following each other and can form a circle in which each ant follows the ones in front endlessly. This can result in the death of the colony.

Did these ants end up dying?

[JUSTICEGIRL2009]

i wulda lit it on fire....sry mother nature...

[utupoe111]

= terrifying. Ants, I will get you if it's the last thing I do!

[MasterOfFlash92]

@utupoe111 don't worry they'll walk to their death :P

[utupoe111]

@MasterOfFlash92 haha. They do this forever.

[realisticHomeboy]

search for "ant mill" to find out more.

[achilles120801]

Would the ants go in another direction when they're south of the equator?

[falc0knights]

i would jump on it

[JEIWILBER]

Nunca vi isso ! ! !

[Mordredis]

Ant's Mecca! auhuahuahuahauhuah Next time shows the bomb ants. =p

[annchoyo]

well *I* itch.

[PaigeChat]

Hey ants where doing that in my driveway. What does it mean?

[RemusLupo]

i feel like this is a perfect metaphor for life. Constantly walking around in a circle following the rest of ur people......wishing to be able to just break from the crowd to do something different..before you get stuck and die before you find ur real home....dam if one ant could just leave the rest would follow.....*single tear*

and the Oscar goes too..

[Guitarrassdeamor]

I'd love to step on them...

[lpunderg]

@Guitarrassdeamor lol I was thinking the same thing and imagining the noise they would make hahahaha

[therandygoat]

Joe Rogan put me here, help!

[KeKoaTinkk]

its the rain dance :D

[ABiliskar]

EU acho que as formigas cortaram uma folha de maconha, por engano e levaram pro formigueiro !!

[coolkidtoocool]

its a 1,000,000,000 sum

[Xuh11]

OMG voz da anyyyyyy

[IsaacPereiraParkour]

bote a mão ali que nao acontece nada...

[altish]

um, thanks, i just quoted a website, because someone wanted to know what this is about, and I thought they might be interested. Dont worry people like you remind me why it's better not to spend any time on the internet.

[Atilla3]

@altish

Don't excuse yourself to people like firewake who are offensive for no blody reason. He is just angry because he was not the first to share the information. No joke.

I on the other hand thank you for enlightening me and sparing me the time to look for the information.

So with all this said, I hope people like me will remind of the opposite, that information sharing is what made the human species evolve.

Good job.

[firewake100]

altish you are an idiot! i hate when people act like they know what their talking about. please if you dont know what what you're talking about you just make yourself look even dumber for saying it. and believe me you look pretty stupid.

[Estexan07]

Poor flower :(

[greenjack7922]

@qo0m0op Or its an ant Typhoon? >.>

[greenjack7922]

@altish Thats true, but only in smaller numbers. This colony as a whole is doing this... Ants are very sensitive to the frequency of the Earth... I believe this has something to do with the frequency changing...

[qo0m0op]

It's an Ant Cyclone. Hurricanes rotate the opposite way. :P

[DiandraDayy]

uuuiiii...

[rodricav]

É coisa do cão!! Saravá!!!

[ImaazeDa3th]

the ants is up to something, we better be prepared..

[devoidchess]

The "never ending circle" theory makes sense to me. Ants follow each others chemical trails and if enough of them left strong signals in a circular pattern then they could potentially create a perpectual loop. Perhaps they were hunting a bug that instictively continued to veer off at a 45 degree angle to the chasing horde.

[brunodogao15]

Que tribo indígena é esse ai??

Formiga que fazer dança da chuva...

[christianpaz89]

são formigas se juntando para se transformar em uma formiga gigante e dominar o mundo !

[jeanrelinter]

Dois dias rodando ? parece aquele ritual ...

[Yamasuba]

ants be like: " fellas, let's scare the crap out of humans !!! "

[altish]

"Sometimes ants following the scent of other ants get locked in a never ending circle called a circular mill. The circle of ants, each one following the ant in front, may continue until they all die." A bit like lemmings I suppose? If I saw that in my backyard though I would still just assume the world is ending, despite what the internet might say.

[ffaall]

@altish "So long and thanks for all the crumbs" eh? :-D

[firewake100]

@altish you sound like an idiot. you have no idea what you're talking about do you? please in the future just keep your mouth shut because you just made yourself sound dumber than are, and by the looks of things you're pretty dumb.

[sssoaring2]

@altish very nice explanation, thank you

[link812]

@altish- looks more like a trip to mecca to me

[Nathyruiz]

@altish "If I saw that in my backyard though I would still just assume the world is ending, despite what the internet might say." LOL... me too

[JBofBrisbane]

@altish - mate, the whole "suicidal lemmings" thing has been debunked years ago.

[lokostill]

2012 is almost upon us!

[Linoran1985]

I'd like a scientific explanation right now!

[ffaall]

I've seen single ants run in a circle, but that's when they are ill or in some way a danger to the colony. They run in a circle until they exhaust themselves to death, but thousands of ants doing the same thing... no idea. Google doesn't help me either!

[Lucascolaneri1]

@ffaall The ants leave a trace while they work, so the other ants can follow a singular path. It works like a fluorescent light for them, but we can't see it with bare eyes. So probably in this video, some ant screwed up and made a circular path that the others started following making this never ending spiral.

[ExonicPlain]

Why are they doing this?

[TheOtherFlame]

but why??

[MMMkimii]

FUCKING AWESOME. lol

[JEIWILBER]

What the fuck ????

[darkgear6]

Hell yeah, I'd stomp those fuckers

[imkb0]

third!

[kirbs72]

Circle Pit !!!

[chikawowow123]

I would totally step on that if i seen it.
